I've been sitting here laughing for about five minutes. I knew this was a pretty long shot, but I'm just trying to make the best of this situation. This trip is mostly about urban stuff--the city, places to eat, museums--because that's the stuff that interests my wife. I had a fishing trip a couple of weeks ago, after all. But I figure after a couple of days of that kind of sightseeing it would be nice to have an excuse to get away with a fishing pole for a while . . . and Wreck Beach looked kind of "interesting" shall we say, and there is water there, and it is connected to the ocean, and I know how to get there, and, well, you probably get the idea. I thought perhaps there might be a rock fish or sand dab or flounder in that part of the bay.
Anyway, thanks all for the entertaining and informative comments, and if I happen to get anything more than wrecked on Wreck Beach or any of those other places mentioned (more ideas accepted), I'll send in a report. I won't be trying the Ambleside location sam salmon mentions. That sounds like combat fishing to me--not my style.
